Welcome to YWallet

When the application starts for the first time or when there aren’t any accounts, it will show the welcome page.

Tap the “New Account” to start the creation of your first account.

First Account

  1. Enter a name for the account. The name is only kept in your device.
  2. Choose the crypto
  3. Tap “New”

Please make sure that you save the seed words when it reminds you. The seed words are the list of 24 words shown on the backup page. If you lose access to your phone or wallet, all you need are these words. But conversely, anyone with these words also has access to your funds.

The seed words must be kept in a safe place and away from prying eyes. The order, spelling and capitalization of the seed words are significant.

Restoring an old account

If you are importing an account from another wallet or simply recovering from a seed,

  1. Enter a name for the account. The name is only kept in your device.
  2. Choose the crypto
  3. Check the box “Restore an Account”
  4. Enter the seed phrase, secret key or viewing key
  5. Tap “Import”

Notes

  • You can tap on the disc icon to get a QR code and save it instead.
  • Do not save your seed words to Cloud storage.
  • Treat the seed words as you would treat a signed blank check to all your funds
